Chapter 38: The sunny after the autumn rain

Fan Xian walked on the street ignorantly. The rain soaked into his clothes, and the ice was wet, but his heart was still hot. At this time, he looked at the streets of Kyoto, Qingguo, the four-wheeled carriages walking on the street, the glass windows of the rich man’s houses on the street, the kaleidoscopes they had seen in the past, the slippery soap... all these things were connected with him at this moment.

It seems that these things are marked with the breath of mother. There is the smell of that woman everywhere on the street, in this house, and in the world.

At the end of the letter, "I'm very lonely."

Before today, Fan Xian was also very lonely, but from today on, he was no longer alone. He laughed loudly in the rainy street, and the laughter spread far, awakening some pedestrians who had already fallen asleep early on the rainy night.

Someone scolded him.

He still smiled.

Ye Qingmei is definitely not the little girl shown in the letter. Fan Xian firmly believes that his mother has an extremely strong heart, so that she can have such a brilliant life in this completely unfamiliar world with the strange sunshine.

This familiar and unfamiliar Qingguo, you are sorry for the woman named Ye Qingmei.

The rain hit Fan Xian's face vigorously. He was like a monster, gradually blending with the dark night. Perhaps this box did not fundamentally help his life, but a feeling of not being lonely made him walk in this world and in this rainy night, he would become more and more comfortable.

Fan Xian walked alone in the storm, but laughed. Since he wanted to live a life of perfection, he had to live a more relaxed life. Just as he said to his sister, when we look back on the past, don’t always feel that the words "depressed" are written on his face.

The autumn wind and rain are sad and sad.

It is naturally impossible to just forget about entering the palace at night. Ye Chong, the garrison of Kyoto, who has not officially appeared on the stage, began to investigate the matter after receiving the imperial order. Although his official position was the garrison of Kyoto, he has been in charge of the Kyoto Haragua, which is aimed at the west in recent years. When he rushed back to Kyoto, it had been three days since the incident.

The discerning person in the palace naturally knew why Your Majesty chose him. First, because the Ye family was favored by the emperor and loyal, and the degree of trust of His Majesty was only under Chen Pingping. And Lord Chen Pingping naturally could not drag his incomplete body to investigate this matter that seemed very sesame to him. Second, because the three top figures in the imperial guard system in the palace seemed to be in doubtful eyes.

Ye Chong also knew that this matter was very complicated. Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the Great Guard, was discovered by the eldest princess many years ago. He was known as the number one in the palace with martial arts. The deputy commander Gong Dian was his junior brother, and the Eunuch Hong, who has never been visible in the mountains or water... is spared, and even Ye Chong didn't want to provoke him.

Moreover, Ye Chong would not doubt these three people at all. He was just curious about what the purpose of the second person who sneaked into the palace had. Why did he kill the eldest princess' personal palace maid outside Guangxin Palace?

The investigation was carried out secretly. The Supervisory Office was furious due to the leak of the secret spy leader of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his majesty was a little weak when they cooperated. Therefore, it was difficult to make substantial progress.

Until one day, after carefully checking several palaces, Ye Chong came to Hanguang Hall, and then smelled a faint strange fragrance. He immediately thought of the old poisonous creature that followed His Majesty's Central Army during the Northern Expedition. He also recalled what the guards said that when the assassin came in the night, the northern Qi family Zhuang Mohan was also in Guangxin Palace. Ye Chong, who was deeply aware of the cruelty of the palace struggle, thought things were offended and turned out to be abnormal.

So he immediately entered the palace to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, and lay on the ground with a look of ashamed.

"Do you can't find it out, or don't dare to check it?" His Majesty's face always had the kind of smile that seemed to be aware of everything. The real close ministers occasionally wondered if this was a means of governing the country, but Ye Chong knew what wisdom his loyal Majesty had. So he answered honestly: "I can't find out, and I don't dare to check it out. It's really inconvenient for foreign ministers to start with royal affairs."

"Ye Qing family, aren't you afraid that I will deny your serving master, be unfaithful, and have no right to cherish your life?"

Ye Chong was afraid to rise up and replied, "I dare not guess Your Majesty's intentions, but I am stupid and don't know where to start."

"I don't need to investigate this matter, I have my own sense of responsibility." His Majesty's smile was a little cold, and Ye Chong knelt down but didn't see it clearly.

Let’s talk about the other side, the real suspect Fan Xian has been hiding in the mansion these days. It is mainly because after his famous poetic reputation has shocked, he went to Taichang Temple to have some tea or go to Honglu Temple to watch coldly, which has become a very luxurious imagination.

The negotiations were completed, the Northern Qi mission had left Kyoto, but Dongyi City was still delayed for a while.

After the news of the wind really faded, the Dongyi City delegation left Kyoto with some discomfort after leaving a lot of money. They didn't know that the Qingguo did not imprison them all after the incident of the palace at night, which was the result of His Majesty the Emperor's magnanimity.

Fan Xian is really famous in Beijing now. No one only focuses on the power behind him, but focuses on him. After all, in this world, Zhuang Mohan can make a great master Zhuang Mohan vomit blood on the spot, only he is the only one, let alone he is so young.

As if it was agreed, the prince and the second prince increased their efforts to win over him at the same time. Li Hongcheng often brought Roujia to the mansion for tea, and Xin Shaoqing also came to visit him on the excuse that he had not seen each other for many days.

But Fan Xian still has a lot to do at this time, so he temporarily pushed both sides. In the night banquet plan, he only completed two parts, one was to successfully find the key, and the other was to almost successfully frame Yun Zhilan of Dongyi City, causing the imperial court to increase its surveillance efforts, making this ninth-grade master in a hurry. Until he left Kyoto, he could not have the idea of ​​making duels with him to ensure his life safety.

When he found out that the eldest princess colluded with the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was waiting for the right time to pour it into the pot.

Two days after the Dongyicheng delegation left Kyoto, Fan Xian knew the time was up.

Fan Xian had no way to use the secret agreement between the eldest princess and the young emperor of Northern Qi to beat people because there was no documentary evidence or evidence. Fan Xian did not dare to meet the emperor. Although with his reputation in the capital, it was not difficult to meet the emperor. However, he had a very complicated inference about the emperor in his heart, and he could not guarantee that the emperor would kill himself to silence him after knowing the scandal of the eldest princess in order to protect the royal face.

If you are an ordinary citizen of Qingguo, after encountering this situation, you will have to hide this secret in your heart forever and never dare to tell others about it forever, and you will die of vomiting blood.

But Fan Xian doesn't. He is a person with two lifetimes of memory and two lifetimes of knowledge. He knows the importance and lethality of public opinion propaganda, and also knows that he should use even more crazy means to deal with a mad princess.

After the night banquet, the related industries of Xishan Paper Floor and Inner Library, which monopolized Kyoto Paper, still touched the business of Danbo Bookstore from time to time. However, the eldest princess could not instruct the eighth department of the Supervision Office, so it was just a few small knocks. Fan Xian understood very well that this was just the tranquility on the eve of the storm.

And he decided to take the lead before the storm came.

That night, Wu Zhu stood in the corner and listened to him. Since he opened the box, Wu Zhu came to Fan Mansion more and more often, as if he was more worried about Fan Xian's safety. Fan Xian thought while saying, "If you want not to leave any traces, you can grab everything."

Wu Zhu leaned toward her body, indicating that she understood what he meant.

Fan Xian continued: "These days that suppressed the business of Danbo Bookstore are the Xishan Paper Floor and Wansongtang of the Neiku, so we have to grab the paper from the Neiku and use Wansongtang's ink. It's just... Uncle, has anyone in the world seen the words you wrote?"

Wu Zhu said coldly: "Don't worry."

Fan Xian knew that his seemingly useless and absurd plan would work, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too big for flyers." He gestured with his hands, "The key is that the number of copies should be large, and he has to be pasted everywhere, especially for the Taixue and the teaching academy that was changed back to Wenyuan Pavilion. He has to post more copies. The students are young and passionate, and are most likely to be provoked. The bachelors in Wenyuan Pavilion also like to play with their character. I guess they will be so angry that they will pull out their beards when they see the flyers."

Wu Zhu said coldly: "Content."

"Huh?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and sighed: "I really look like an underground party member."

He began to retell in detail how the leaflet should be incitement, and he must talk about some details that seem true or false, such as how the eldest princess talked to Zhuang Mohan, how hard Yan Bingyun was lurking in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and how he was ruthlessly abandoned by the nobles in the palace, the eldest princess hurt the interests of the court, seeks his own interests, and what benefits he gained, how many fake eunuchs he raised in the palace, and how many old lovers he had outside...

Wu Zhu calmly analyzed: "No one would believe that the eldest princess would sacrifice such great interests, just seeking some financial benefits."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows again and said, "There are not many smart people like you in the world, as long as the people believe it. As for the emperor, we will remind him."
